    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Jan Ziolkowski David Wilson Ungvary Verse and Conversion: Poetship, Christianity, and the Transformation of the Roman World, AD 400-700 Abstract This dissertation presents a cultural history of Christian Latin poetic authorship from the late Roman through the post-imperial period. It analyzes the evolution of Latin verse-writing habits, authorial practices, and routines (i.e. “poetship”) within contemporary Christian discourses surrounding spiritual self-formation, self-presentation, and behavior, and in the context of social and political reconfigurations during the period of Roman imperial transition from roughly AD 400 to 700.

CHURCH LEGISLATION ON OBSCENITY MAURICE AMEN, C.S.C.* T IS evident that there was a gradual development in the ecclesiastical condemnation of obscene literature, and that this process was similar to that which is detectable in many other matters with which the Church has been concerned. At its founding the Church did not immediately set up a panoply of detailed legislation; yet, where its viewpoint on some matter was demanded, the Church did not hesitate to legislate. Some ecclesiastical legislators delineated those specific books which were to be considered prohibited reading for the faithful under their jurisdiction, whereas others were content to promulgate general laws concerning liter- ature. The faithful were then to apply these general norms to any individ- ual book in order to determine whether the book was prohibited. The general laws of the Church are derived from these earlier specific con- demnations and/or general prohibitions. It is not at all certain at what precise time the Church first prohibited any specific book, but the first indication of there being a war against all evil literature is given in the Acts of the Apostles ( 19: 19-20).

Ne uero ista tua expectatione a me omnino frustratus uideare, mitto Tibi aliud opus, quod nuper composui, similis quidem cum illo materię, sed tamen multa, quę ante non attigeram in se habens et licet nonnullis in locis eadem quę in illo tractari contingat, non tamen iisdem uerbis expressa habentur, necui stomachum moueat iuxta Gręcum prouerbium repetita crambe.

    Image and Narration in the Tenth-Century Gerona Beatus Commentary on the Apocalypse

    VISUALIZING APOCALYPSE: IMAGE AND NARRATION IN THE TENTH-CENTURY GERONA BEATUS COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kevin Ray Poole, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Vicente Cantarino, Adviser Professor Maureen Ahern ____________________________________ Professor Rebecca Haidt Adviser Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese Copyright by Kevin Ray Poole 2006 ABSTRACT The illuminations that accompany the Gerona Beatus Commentaries on the Apocalypse have long been considered pictorial accompaniments to the written text of the New Testament Book of Revelations that function as visual aids for readers. This is only partly true, for several of the Beatus manuscripts contain illuminations that do not pertain to the Apocalypse but to other books of the Bible, though the text is absent. The Gerona Beatus, the most elaborately decorated of the Beatus manuscript family, is such an example, containing not only depictions of Old Testament stories but also a series of illustrations of the life of Christ not found in other manuscripts of its family. Produced in 975 AD, the Gerona Beatus continues the tradition of medieval apocalyptic thought in which the Antichrist was perceived of as embodied in the Muslim presence in Spain of the eighth through the fifteen centuries. As instruments of learning and meditation used by monks and other religious during the monastic practice of lectio divina, the Gerona Beatus illuminations functioned as more than simple graphic accompaniments, for they recreated a new narrative in which the reader could visualise the fulfilment of Biblical prophecies from both the Old and the New Testaments.
